hi,

i've just installed freebsd and i'm trying to login
for the first time but this seems impossible. 

i'm sure that during the installation i've typed the
word 'secret' as the root password but after rebooting
this password is not accepted! :(

after this i've booted in single mode but when i give
# passwd root
and try to set the password, i get a "read-only file
system". vipw won't do it either..

so.. anybody know what i'm missing or what i should
do?
i'd appreciate any help.

thanks,
dimitri

ps. i've install fbsd on the same hard disk with
ms-windows but everything else seems to work just fine
(i get a nice booting option to chose which one to
boot etc..)
